Reverse engineering completely foreign technology without its creator's co-operation might be a bit hard with no tools. Even if you could get it off of her. xD

Convergence: The Restoration

Reinhardt Wilhelm

One minute he had been in Greenland, dealing with the rather unpleasant people that Torbjorn had mentioned there over Christmas--his Swedish friend having better news about the northern countries than he did. Walking back from a false lead and seeing another trail that might correct the directions he had been given, the enormous armoured man followed along the trail--and found himself somewhere not entirely unlike Eichenwalde. The architecture was distinctly medieval yet there were people around and a distinct lack of destroyed robots and empty Crusader armour.

Nobody with business in Eichenwalde would greet him with such apprehension.

The locals were regarding Reinhardt with a wariness that tended to stem from unfamiliarity nowadays, yet if this was the old German town (no matter how he had gotten there) then he should be greeted with either warmth or terror--depending on whether you should be here or not. The cold apprehension clearly made this separate from his old master's town, so where could it possibly be?

The old man wandered the streets, trying to piece together some idea of where he might have been transported to. From the similarities to Eichenwalde, he could place it somewhere towards the northern regions of Europe. The language didn't seem familiar... though soon enough, the locals had recognised him and swapped to something that he could understand.

Then something clearly recognisable came into vision: a wonder of culture and science fashioned from pink metal and the successor to the video games that he had watched its pilot compete within. There was a small crowd gathering around the MEKA but, with his size and similar out-of-placeness, merely walking close and gesturing with his free hand was able to part it a little and find a way nearer to the Korean girl. That seemed to be the main reason that they had scattered. Then he clapped one armoured arm around the 'shoulders' of her robot.

"D.Va! Are you here to film another movie? This is an impressive film set," he said. With the Korean pilot here, things made more sense: it could just be some filming project. Reinhardt had certainly enjoyed Hero of my Storm.

Yukine Chris

Chris was even more out of place than Reinhardt was, never having found herself in Northern Europe or anywhere of the sort. Disembarking from a submarine was not supposed to lead to stepping out into centuries old architecture far from any sort of ocean and she was, understandably, annoyed at the change of scenery. Her outfit was doing no favours in the early dawn temperatures, so she stuck to the alleyways where buildings could block the breezes and the feeling of the place was more familiar despite the architecture.

To stumble across a group of armed shoulders shouting nonsense about conquering the world was completely unexpected and the schoolgirl reflexively grabbed the relic at her neck. If they did anything aggressive, she could transform immediately and then no soldiers should even be a threat. Attacking soldiers who had no chance of fighting her off would be wrong. Something that she would have done before and for similar reasons to these men, but...

"What the hell? You can't make peace by fighting everyone! All being stronger means is more fighting!"

... she couldn't keep quiet, either.

... he seems severely underrobotic and underequipped for anyone ever associated with the Mechanicus. O_o

@Raineh Daze It's just a precautionary thing, I believe. Just knowing that it's entirely possible for Gilgy to destroy the entire cast at once, even if it probably wouldn't happen, is a bit of a Damocles Sword on us all. But still, it's up to you and Yidhra on actually changing it.

@Kafka Komedy

I get that, I just meant to explain that any nerfs established outside the bio are going to be pretty much indistinguishable anyway. XD

I think the only one of those he has that he knows about is the first one.

And, well... his ego alone is an enormous nerf. What he could do is a far cry from how much effort he actually puts in and it keeps making him lose. Fate route? Leaves Saber alive after overpowering her, she ends up getting Avalon; UBW he doesn't even bother with the armour and passes up an opportunity to kill the main characters because some ash got on his clothes (and he loses the fight with Shirou because, aside from not bothering with armour, he doesn't take it seriously from the start and UBW is a natural counter to bladespam), and in Heaven's Feel... once again, leaves something for dead after shooting it a few times and wanders off. Gets consumed from behind. Hell, he only won his last fight in /Zero: first one ended when he was told to leave (though he was just going for the same but more), second he lost a dogfight because he's not actually that skilled, and the third he actually won.

It takes pretty much an army of heroes or having something like Excalibur to make him do things even slightly properly. Even then he still holds back (plus using Ea at full strength is a bit stupid: it's not like he has another planet to go to).

And the way most nerfs would work out is that he'd have no ability to be doing things that he wouldn't be doing anyway? It'd be a bit invisible. xD

There's that other thing that I put off. But I finished it. : D

Shiny

• Name: Gilgamesh
• Title: King of Heroes, Oldest King, Archer.
• Gender: Male
• Appearance: Very shiny.
• Personality: There are many things that could be said about Gilgamesh's attitude and personality but they all pale before one factor: his ego is greater than the sum of everything else combined. Only one person has ever been or will ever be acknowledged as his equal and everyone else has to struggle simply to earn his respect. Fortunately for everyone else, this means that to make him fight you properly is a fight in and of itself, with any normal person having to be decisively winning (on top of aggravating) in order for him to respond in kind. It's safer to be beneath his interest.
  He also believes that everything belongs to him. Were he not in another world, this would be correct from at least one point of view and the change of scenery is hardly going to deter him a bit. Money, items, people: all are under the king's purview and to interfere with his desires it the worst crime of all. Strangely enough, this isn't simply restricted to the positive things: all that is wrong and corrupt with the world belongs to him. All the world's evil belongs to him as well and Gilgamesh is consequently able to withstand being immersed in something that would utterly corrupt or destroy some lesser figure.
  When not being consumed utterly by his own arrogance, Gilgamesh is actually highly intelligent and insightful--you don't rule what basically amounts to the entirety of humanity for a lifetime, most of that as a good king, and fail to understand human nature. The most obvious display of this is that, no matter how angry he gets, he doesn't let his emotions dictate his actions.
• Ideals: Himself. He is the absolute king, the only one with the authority to judge humanity, and all the world is his. He has no need or interest in lesser ideals, since (by Gilgamesh's view) anything that he does is intrinsically right.
• Biography: He would be shocked to hear that anybody was unfamiliar with the basic tale--it's the oldest literature recorded, after all. King of Uruk, wrestled Enkidu, killed a giant, rejected a goddess, killed a bull, lost his friend, quested for immortality, failed, reigned and died. A pretty accurate summation of the King of Heroes' life, only missing important parts: the gods created him in order to prevent the end of their own age, yet he took an interest in humanity and chose to be a standard by which humans could be measured. During his lifetime, he also collected every treasure, every creation of human ingenuity... and stuck them all in a vault. What did he actually have to do with them?
  He was summoned, using the snake's very first shed skin, to be Archer for the Fourth Holy Grail War. Despite fighting an entire army at one point, the worst that could be said to have actually happened to him before the end was losing a dogfight. And then... All the World's Evil was dumped on his head. Uniquely, this was not a fatal and impossibly corrupting occurrence: instead, he shouldered it... and got a physical body because it just wanted to get him out. Not that this was entirely a good thing, because it made him more in tune with the general gist of humanity, and cynical consumer culture makes him quite bitter...
• Powers: As a Servant, Gilgamesh is simply inhuman--though having a purely physical, rather than spiritual, body has blunted this. Nevertheless, both his strength and speed are on a level where a normal person would have no chance to compete and anything short of being impaled probably isn't fatal; losing an arm just made him angry. He lacks most of the other benefits that would come from being a Servant, again because of the physical body.
  What he does still retain is a level of Charisma that is explicitly supernatural; should he choose to lead a fight or assist then it would be almost impossible to not feel an improvement in morale. He also has an uncanny ability to gather wealth and treasure to himself: drop him penniless and alone in a foreign culture and he will inevitably become one of the richest people alive without even trying. He literally can't be poor.
  He mainly uses the Gate of Babylon to fight (or to supply wine for a conversation) as it's fully capable of accessing the nearly limitless depths of his treasury. Whilst he can just deposit the item into his hands, the Gate has the useful ability to arrange an array of weapons behind him... then shoot them all at high velocity. Then return anything back to the vault to be fired again.
• Weapons: Due to collecting all their prototypes in life, there are very few heroes' weapons that aren't within his vault. Excalibur is a notable exception, due to having been forged long after his time by faeries. He does not, however, have anything in the way of experience in wielding them--so unless facing a vastly inferior foe at his mercy (and yet worthy enough to take some effort at all) they mostly just serve as glorified ammunition. Still, there's something to be said for using legendary weapons as the bullets for a railgun.
  There are two weapons that he actually cares about. One, the Chains of Heaven, have been named for Enkidu and were used to restrain the Bull of Heaven. Since they can extend indefinitely, the chains can be shot from opening to opening in the Gate to create a spider's web of restrictions, or just used to grab someone from a long way away. They're normal steel chains against anyone without a touch of the divine, and consequently quite useless on most people he might fight.
  The other weapon that is specifically Gilgamesh's is Ea, the Star of Creation that Split Heaven and Earth. It is a sword that is actually more of a drill, and completely useless for fighting with (though it can tear through your chest with no effort). What it can do is start spinning and unleash a magical blast of wind that can stop on any stage of disastrous effects. At its strongest, Ea splits the sky to show the world before it was created... and would tear it utterly apart. At a more reasonable level, it's a razor wind that can devastate an army, or a laser of wind that can overpower even Excalibur. Without being a Servant, you'd have to nearly kill him to bring it out.
• Equipment: Aside from weaponry, Gilgamesh's treasury contains enough anti-magic jewellery to render him nigh impervious to magical attack (and shinier than ever), quite possibly an ancient Hindu spaceship (though given that was destroyed...), a well-stocked wine cellar, sources of infinite food... almost anything you could possibly need. If he can remember it exists, given that he was never fully aware of everything that lay within the treasury in the first place. It also includes his armour: despite being nameless and unidentified, it is one of the few things that can stand up to Excalibur's full power and remain intact. He still died after that but, unlike normal, he wasn't vaporised. It's good armour.
• Universe of Origin: Nasuverse (Immediately pre-Fate/Stay Night, specifically)

@Burning Kitty Phorian is spoken in Phoria, however, after some time in Phoria, you will start hearing Phorian as your language.

@Yidhra

... doesn't this make roleplaying effectively impossible because, aside from two characters, nobody can actually speak to anyone else and expect to be understood?

@Yidhra Ah, posted a bio, it ended up as the last post on the last page. xD
